We're thrilled to be hosting Archivematica Camp at the home of the project - Vancouver, British Columbia - in June 2019!

Inspired by similar events like Hydra Camp, Islandora Camp and Fedora Camp, Archivematica Camp is intended to provide a space for anyone interested in or currently using Archivematica to come together, learn about the platform from other users, and share their experiences.

A big thanks to the University of British Columbia for sponsoring this camp!

== Dates and Location ==

'''June 24-26, 2019 - [http://www.library.ubc.ca/ University of British Columbia Library]'''.

Sessions will be held in the [https://services.library.ubc.ca/facilities/workshop-rooms/ Dodson and Lillooet rooms] on the third floor of the [https://goo.gl/maps/xdW1uK5mVZ82 Irving K. Barber Learning Centre] located on UBC's main campus.

The land on which we will gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) People.

==Know before you go==

'''Digital preservation knowledge expectations'''

If you've registered because you are curious about Archivematica but not sure what a SIP, DIP, or AIP is, you might find it helpful to read up on digital preservation fundamentals before Day 1. We recommend Ashley Blewer's [http://training.ashleyblewer.com/presentations/digital-preservation digital preservation] and [http://training.ashleyblewer.com/presentations/oais.html OAIS] slidedecks as good starting points to learn about digital preservation and the OAIS reference model, on which Archivematica is based. If you want to dive deeper, there are a lot of OAIS and digital preservation primers out there! A basic grounding in the fundamentals should be enough to get you started.

'''Bring a laptop'''

We have hands-on sessions planned and Archivematica pipelines ready for learning, so please bring a laptop! You may want to set up your own pipeline using vagrant and VirtualBox - this isn't required, but if you're keen then go for it. You'll find instructions to do that [https://www.archivematica.org/en/docs/archivematica-1.9/getting-started/quick-start/quick-start/#quick-start-install here] (please do this before you arrive at camp!).

'''Food'''

The morning coffee break will be catered and boxed lunches will be provided on all three days. There are plenty of places to find food and drink on the UBC campus as well.

'''Accessibility'''

The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre is accessible; however, there is construction taking place that may obstruct access between the elevators and the Lillooet/Dodson rooms. If this is an issue, campers can take the elevator up to the 3rd floor and check in at the Chapman Learning Commons desk to be escorted to the Lillooet and Dodson rooms. We will provide updates by email closer to the date of the camp.

'''Code of conduct'''

We are committed to providing a welcoming and positive experience for everyone, whether you are in a session, online, or in a social setting. This means that Archivematica Camp Vancouver is governed by a [[#Code of Conduct|Code of Conduct]], which you can read at the bottom of this page.

'''Questions or concerns?'''

Please email us at info@artefactual.com with "Archivematica Camp Vancouver" in the subject line and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

==Code of Conduct==

The Archivematica community is dedicated to providing a welcoming and positive experience for everyone, whether they are in a formal session or a social setting related to an Archivematica event, or are taking part in activities online. Archivematica community participants come from all over the world and bring with them a wide variety of professional, personal and social backgrounds; whatever these may be, we treat colleagues with dignity and respect. We are sensitive to the fact that the international nature of the Archivematica community means that we span many different social norms around language and behaviour and we strive to conduct ourselves in ways that are unlikely to cause offense. In the event that someone’s conduct is causing offense or distress, the Archivematica Camp has a detailed Anti-Harassment Policy, details below, which can be applied to address the problem.

The first step in dealing with any serious misconduct is to contact a member of the organizing group, or a counsellor at an Archivematica Camp (please see counsellors, above). These people will be made known before and during any Archivematica Camp event.

'''Anti-Harassment Policy'''

The Archivematica community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference/camp experience for everyone. If you have been harassed, please consult this protocol for conflict resolution which makes clear how we can help.

The Archivematica community has established the following policy to make it clear that we do not tolerate harassment in any form. Sexual or discriminatory language and imagery are not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, or any other communication channel used during the conference (such as social media).

Harassment includes:

* offensive verbal comments related to sex, gender, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, race, religion;
* sexual or discriminatory images in public spaces;
* deliberate intimidation;
* stalking;
* harassing photography or recording;
* sustained disruption of talks or other events;
* inappropriate physical contact; and
* unwelcome sexual attention.


The lingua franca of Archivematica Camp is English; however, English may not be the native language of Archivematica Camp participants. Further, cultural norms around what may be considered obscene and offensive communication will vary among Archivematica Camp attendees. Campers are asked to please be mindful of the international character of Archivematica Camp, and to use respectful and clear language free of slang to facilitate communication.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers and Archivematica representatives (or their designees) may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from Archivematica Camp, or contacting a higher authority such as a representative from the offender’s institution.

If a participant raises a concern relating to actions covered by this policy in good faith, there will be no retaliation for bringing forward their concern. Threatening or taking action against someone for invoking this policy or for participating in any related investigation will be considered a violation of this policy.

Participants are expected to follow the anti-harassment policy at all Camp-related venues, Camp-related social events, and online communication channels.

We expect attendees and speakers past and present to be respectful to each other, and we will deal with any incidents that arise, including on social media.

We value your participation in the Archivematica community and your support in keeping the Archivematica community a safe, welcoming, and friendly space for fellow participants.
